Meet the developer

Hi, I’m James

I run WildPress from Battersea, London. I build and manage each project myself, and for larger projects I bring in a team of experienced freelancers to help with the more specialist work.

Most of my clients are small business owners who need their website to do real work: take enquiries, sell, publish, or connect to the systems behind the business. That shapes how I build. Less chasing design awards, more making sure the site is fast, secure, and still doing its job years after launch.

You deal with me from the first call through to launch, and most clients stay on afterwards. Some of the sites I look after today I built years ago.

What clients say about working with James

What is included

What gets covered in managed WordPress hosting

Managed hosting covers more than server space. The work includes migration planning, performance configuration, security hardening, backups, monitoring, support ownership, and a recovery path if something goes wrong.

Hosting fit

A platform matched to how important the site is

We review the current site, traffic, plugins, forms, checkout paths, and business-critical pages before recommending a hosting setup. The aim is reliable performance without paying for complexity you do not need.

Migration

Move hosting with a controlled plan

Hosting migrations need a rollback path, DNS planning, SSL checks, backup coverage, and post-move monitoring. We handle the move so the site changes environment without unnecessary disruption.

Performance

Caching and server setup tuned for WordPress

The environment is configured around WordPress performance: PHP version, caching, image delivery, database behaviour, object cache where useful, and CDN options where they make sense.

Security

Practical hardening without locking your team out

Security controls should reduce risk while keeping normal work possible. We configure access, firewalls, updates, backups, and monitoring around the real site rather than applying generic settings blindly.

Backups

A clearer recovery route when things go wrong

Backups only matter if they can be restored. We align backup frequency, storage, retention, and restore process with the risk level of the website and the data it handles.

Support ownership

Fewer gaps between hosting and website support

Managed hosting works best when someone understands both the server and the WordPress site. That makes incidents easier to diagnose and reduces the back-and-forth between hosting support and website support.

Process

Hosting Review

We review the current host, DNS, backups, traffic patterns, plugins, performance risks, email dependencies, and any uptime or support issues.

Migration Planning

We plan the target environment, migration window, rollback route, DNS changes, backup coverage, caching, SSL, and monitoring setup before anything moves.

Environment Setup

The managed WordPress environment is configured for performance, security, backups, monitoring, and practical access control.

Launch and Support

We migrate, test, switch traffic, monitor the site after launch, and keep a clear route for hosting support and future improvements.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Search common questions or choose one from the list to see the answer.

No matching questions found.

Do you handle migration to managed hosting?

Yes. I plan the move with a rollback path, so if anything looks wrong we put it back rather than scramble to fix it live.

That covers DNS, SSL, a backup either side of the move, and monitoring once the site is running on the new host. The aim is that your customers never notice it happened.

Are backups and uptime monitoring included?

Yes, both come as part of the setup rather than as extras.

Backups only matter if they restore, so I match how often they run and how long they are kept to how much the site matters to the business, then check a restore actually works.

Can managed hosting be combined with ongoing care plans?

Yes, and it is usually the better way round. When the same person looks after the server and the WordPress site, there is no gap where a hosting problem gets blamed on the site and the site gets blamed on the host.

A care plan adds the updates, monitoring, and support time on top of the hosting itself.
